Remington Fieldmaster 572 pump 22;won't activate trigger
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 10:10 pm
I have older 1955 remington 572 pump 22; not shot much in last 15 years;now when I pump a cartirige into the chamber sometimes it won't go in completely and the trigger is not armed. This will also happen when the gun is empty and I activate the pump it will not set the trigger. Any ideas to what part I should replace ?
It is intermittent problem. Today I went to gun range to sight in my scope and it worked good with LR Hollow points for about 20 shots and then it started to not activate the trigger. Sometimes it worked and then it was so bad that I quick firing and came home. Any ideas ??
Usually I will eject the round and try to pump in new round and really jam the forearm hard so it will set the round and activate the trigger. Sometime I need to eject and load 3 or 4 times before it will load the round and activate the trigger.
Sometimes the ejected 22 round is bent because I used so much force to close the chamber!
